Raise you PUSSY!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, you have so many outs + position I say you have to raise the flop to around 30000 and you can get a free card that way too most likely.

i agree with TG1... the free card play on the flop would have been very nice.

as for the river call.... hmmm... what were you playing for? i think that aggression (30k-45k?) would DEFINTELY be called for if you're trying to win the whole deal. i'm not sure you're going to get much better opportunities than this to double up. only the micro PPs beat you. if you're behind in the hand, you're in the doghouse chips-wise anyway. it seems to me that you sacrifice a little difference of small prize money (e.g., the difference between 10th and 13th) for the potential to take control of the table.

please take my commentary with a grain of salt, as i definitely don't have that much experience with MTTs.

I push that river no question about it. However, I definetely raise the flopz0r as well.

my previous post might have been a bit unclear... i would still recommend a 30-45k raise on the river (as the hand was played).
